Welcome to book 13 of The 50 Book Project. This week I created a rustic leather watercolor journal from a piece of tangerine leather.
The binding is a modified pamphlet stitch. The four signatures each have their own sewing holes, but there are only 3 sewing stations or holes in the leather cover.
The 32 pages are torn from a large sheet of Arches hotpress 140lb watercolor paper and sewn with waxed linen thread.
The closure is a piece of vintage twine from a spool I picked up at a flea market last summer.
Where do you get the leather?
Hi Cathy,
I bought the orange leather from Hollanders. Here are link: http://www.hollanders.com/index.php/rustic-calf-fuscia.html
Thanks!
Hello, I have just seen her watercolor book … I would like such a bind, as an art Mixed Media Journal with a linen cover, instead of leather.
When can we see her video and where?
